Hi, I downloaded win32_11gR2_OracleXE.zip and installed it on Windows 7 32 bit, I can access the database from sqlplus, but I couldn't access to home page url, how can I troubleshoot this? None of below combination worked:

Hi Kris, thanks for 11g XE. I tried on Chrome and below is the result:

The webpage at http://<hostname>:8080/apex/f?p=4950 might be temporarily down or it may have moved permanently to a new web address.

Error 103 (net::ERR_CONNECTION_ABORTED): Unknown error.

I am just from installing it on Windows 7 as well and I am able to access APEX and XE database homepage.

A little digging on the Internet seems to suggest that the error is widespread(see -> Google Chrome Issue) and not necessarily associated to any Oracle product. Have you tried accessing APEX and 11g XE homepage using a different browser(say firefox for instance)?

But just so we are certain, please also show us results of the command below.

This may be related to my local laptop settings, I changed my hostname inside listerner.ora and tnsnames.ora and restarted listener, now I can tnsping service XE, but netstat does not bring 8080 line and I can not connect if I put @xe TNS to my 11g XE database.

I've configured everything and shortly after I start listener and DB I'm able to login to ...:8080/apex or ...:8080/apex/apex_admin.
However, after few clicks in the admin interface, it stops working and return 404 with either
The requested URL /apex/f was not found on this server
or
The requested URL /apex/apex_admin was not found on this server

If I then try to access ...:8080/apex it redirects me to ...:8080/apex/apex and again "The requested URL /apex/apex was not found on this server"

I bounce DB + listener and it works again but breaks in the same ways after few minutes.
I have it fully reproducible and can provide direct access to the instance on EC2.
